A rapid increase in renewable energy in response to climate change often generates local conflicts. To achieve a just transition to renewable energy, it is crucial to embed justice into its development processes. I examined the case of solar development in Kushiro, Japan. By combining the theories of multispecies justice and procedural justice, this thesis analyzed how local stakeholders perceive

Vad ska den svenska skogen räcka till idag? Varför ser den ut som den gör? Och kan vi sköta den på ett sätt så att fleras behov täcks? En parallell inläsning om regenerativ design och den svenska skogen står till grund i examensarbetet. Genom att identifiera skogens intressenter och gestalta en plats där de kan mötas undersöker projektet hur platsskapande kan leda till kulturella skiften. Vad händThis study aims to explore the current and potential uses of the Swedish forest, investigating the reasons behind its current state and examining potential management strategies to meet the needs of a diverse range of stakeholders. Drawing on principles of regenerative design, the thesis delves into the implications of creating a space where various forest stakeholders can converge and interact, p

Social, ecological, and cultural impacts associated with the U.S. military in Hawaii are egregious. However, due to the historical oppressions and injustices to Hawaiians, the U.S. military maintains their hegemony by wielding a disproportionate decisive political and economic power. This study aims to explore perceptions of Native Hawaiian and non-native activists regarding the military impacts a

Bakgrund: Postoperativa infektioner är näst vanligast bland de vårdrelaterade infektionerna och leder till lidande för patienterna. Preoperativ helkroppstvätt med klorhexidinbaserad tvål används i stor utsträckning i förebyggande syfte inför alla typer av kirurgiska ingrepp. Vårdhandboken rekommenderar preoperativ klorhexidintvätt inför särskilt infektionskänsliga ingrepp. Syfte: Att granska oc

Hexokinase 2 (Hxk2p) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a bi-functional enzyme being both a catalyst and an important regulator in the glucose repression signal. In the presence of xylose Hxk2p is irreversibly inactivated through an autophosphorylation mechanism, affecting all functions. Consequently, the regulation of genes involved in sugar transport and fermentative metabolism is impaired. The ai

In recent decades there has been an increasing demand in environmental sciences for harmonized climatic data at large spatial scales and long periods. Here we present easyclimate, a software package to obtain daily climatic data at high resolution (0.0083°, ∼1 km) with R. The package facilitates the downloading and processing of precipitation, minimum and maximum temperatures for Europe from 1950

The return of individual birds to an exact area in successional years is a remarkable phenomenon. Here we report on the remarkably reversed: the complete absence of returning individuals of a migratory passerine with otherwise pronounced philopatry. In Abisko in northern Sweden none of the banded adult willow warblers (Phylloscopus trochilus) returned to breed 2011-14. This is in stark contrast to

The most prevailing hypothesis regarding mechanisms behind specific language impairment today is the hypothesis of general limitations of processing capacity. Such an hypothesis can hardly be tested by available language assessment tools, especially not by instruments in use for clinical assessment of the lexical-semantic domain in children. Reduced naming speed is by some researchers considered a

The intrinsically disordered MYC proteins are master regulators of cellular growth and function, but when deregulated they become cancer drivers. MYC-protein interactions are key to oncogenesis, and while disrupting such interactions would be of significant therapeutic benefit, the intrinsically disordered properties of MYC have dramatically hampered their characterization. Here, we apply an integ

Presented at the International VISURF Nordic-Baltic Colloquium Visions of Residential Futures (Gothenburg, 2011), part of a NordForsk-supported research network exploring housing transformation and urban living, this contribution introduces Dérive – Lerum, an urban and architectural proposal developed within Europan 10, a European competition platform for innovative housing and urban development.T

This paper discusses the conceptual relationship between strategic narratives and public diplomacy and its analytical possibilities. It argues that public diplomacy can be understood as a set of persuasive narrative practices; that strategic narratives are central to processes of identity formation necessary for persuasive and credible public diplomacy communication; and that the contestation of s
